- Have you called Miss Yu?

- Yes, I have.

What did she say?

Asks you to call her later.

And Mrs. Ho says she's ready

to cut her birthday cake.

She wants you to hurry home.

- Did you get me a present for her?

- Yes, this.

- What is it?

- A scarf.

- I think Mrs. Ho will like it.

- Thank you.

And here's your change.

I'm always troubling you.

Use it for bus fare.

Why don't you dine with us tonight?

Thank you, I've already

planned to see a film tonight.

Then I won't keep you.

Tomorrow will be quiet.

Take the morning off.

Are you going out tonight?

Don't forget your keys.

All the neighbors

are dining out tonight.

I have a lot to do here.

I'll be late.

What is it, Mrs. Chan?

I heard voices,

I thought Mr. And Mrs. Koo

were back.

Not yet. Anything I can help with?

No, I just wanted a chat.

- Are you alone?

- Yes, I am.

You're back early today!

I came back to rest.

I'm not feeling well...

What is it?

I have some medicines...

Don't trouble yourself,

I'll sleep it off.

In that case...

I'll leave you in peace.

It was your wife.

Have you spoken to your wife yet?

Then we shouldn't meet anymore.

Any news from the Philippines?

Yes, a telex.

There's a typhoon,

so the ship's still docked.

Please inform Chan

that the shipment may be delayed.

Ask if that's a problem.

Your wife rang.

You don't need to pick her up.

She's playing mahjong with Mrs. Lau.

She'll meet you

at the restaurant at 5.30.

And there's a gift from Miss Yu.

She was here?

No, she had it sent over.

She says she'll dine alone

since it's your birthday.

Please phone her

when you have a moment.

- I'll get you another coffee.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

That tie looks good on you.

You noticed?

It's much like the old one.

You notice things

if you pay attention.

I'll be off now.

If Chan has a problem,

let me know at the restaurant.

I will.

Why did you change your tie?

The new one was too showy.

I should stick with my own.

Don't forget to lock up.

By the way,

haven't seen your husband lately.

He's abroad now,

on company business.

That's why I see you

at the noodle stall.

I don't like cooking for myself.

Haven't seen your wife

lately either.

Her mother's ill.

She's at home with her.

That explains it.

Good night!

Good night!

Mrs. Chan, I'm glad you're back!

It's raining so hard!

I was going to look for you

with an umbrella.

You're too kind.

Amah, who is it?

It's Mrs. Chan.

Mrs. Suen!

Caught in the rain?

I said you could eat with us!

Next time... Enjoy your game.

Her husband's always away.

It's sad to see her so lonely.

She dresses up like that

to go out for noodles?

Mr. Chow!

What are you doing here?
